I guess the chicken velvet soup is quite the thing, but I'm not feeling it. Just kind of a cheese sauce, heavy-flour gravy with hidden strands of chicken in it. Nothing really soupy about it. Roasted tomato beyond sour to just bitter. These are not very good soups for a soup store. Biggest issue is with the hot chocolate. $3.50 for a cup of water-based instant cocoa of the very worst sort. That's just malpractice. First sip taken after carrying it for seven minutes and still burned my mouth. Stupidly scalding hot. Wife and I confirmed once it did cool to be the worst thing we ever sipped from a cup.Nice interior, great concept, wonderful menu, But, execution.

I called the store to see if I could change the bread for my sandwich. DoorDash doesn't give you the option to substitute. The lady that answered the phone was pretty rude. They had no bread left. She just kept going on about it. First, why doesn't the restaurant bake more bread to last throughout the day? People like bread with their soup. Second, she wouldn't substitute the bread for one sandwich because she said that I should have the option to change my bread on the site. They don't allow you to substitute on the app. That's why I called them. She just kept going on about them not having bread and she doesn't know what to do if they don't allow you to substitute. It's not that hard to substitute a bread for one sandwich for a bread they do have which was the panini bread. I don't think that would change the price much. I haven't even tried the food yet, but I'm not happy with their service at the moment. I'll see how the food is and edit this review.Hours later.........I had the pastrami on rye and a lobster bisque. The pastrami was good but they give like one slice of meat. This is no Katz's Deli. I would gladly pay more money to get more meat. For the price they charge you for barely a sandwich, it's highway robbery. The lobster bisque was delicious in my opinion. I wish there were some lobster pieces in there, but I guess you can't have everything. The flavor is good but yet again, they advertise a big bowl and it's just a small cup for a hefty price. I don't know if I'll order from them again. They don't have enough bread to last the day, which if it were my business, I'd make enough bread to last the whole day. I'd also get all new staff because with all the reviews about rude customer service , that can really kill a business. If your food is decent and you have great customer service, I'm sure people would give better reviews. But with crappy customer service, you can't forgive that. Customer service will make or break you in this business.

Craving soup on a cold day, my husband and I stopped by and got three large soups of the day to go. Two employees appeared to be arguing, not sure what that's about but it was uncomfortable. We were asked about crackers or bread to accompany each and selected bread. Our total was $29.40. Parking is tricky since it's just off monument circle so heads up when stopping by, especially on a busy downtown day. Upon getting home, we first tried the lobster bisque. It was okay but very thick, not much lobster, strong onion after taste. Next was the broccoli cheddar, but unfortunately it's just a thick soup, like nacho cheese, and had just one piece of broccoli in it that we had to take out and cut into bite-sized pieces, which took a sharp knife because the broccoli piece was so hard. There were a few wilted broccoli leaves but no other broccoli and no signs of any seasoning. Even after chopping the one piece up, this soup was not good and went right into the trash. Our final soup was the one with sausage, kale, potatoes, and Parmesan. This one was decent but the sausage fat was not drained so it separated and made the oily fat sit on top. One large piece of Parmesan that must have started on top sank to the bottom and was difficult to cut through. It was overall just a very oily soup.I'm not sure if we came on an off day if this "restaurant" simply doesn't put care and attention to detail into their food anymore, but this experience will have us never coming back.

A quaint shop in downtown Indianapolis. The concept of a soup flight is spectacular and I would recommend anyone to go here if you're stopping through. The soup flight is reasonably priced and they have a variety of soups that rotate out daily as they make their batches day of. I got the chili, tomato bisque and cheddar baked potato. All delicious and I don't think you can go wrong with any of the soups! The ladies who were working there are very friendly. I was tempted to go back each day during my short trip there, haha.

Stay away! This place is run by crooks! We ordered the Lobster Bisque Soup and a Kerouac Salad and all they included was the soup in the bag. They wrote on the bag "salad refunded" but it definitely was not, and we are now out over $17. We phoned them several times and they NEVER pick up the phone. The soup wasn't that good either. Stay away!

After reading some recent social media posts about soup, I was definitely in the mood on a cold winter day. I stopped by this little spot right off the circle to grab a couple of containers to go. It's a very quaint and homey place with seating limited to a few chairs at a countertop area. It's decorated like a quirky library, which I thought was cute. They do offer all of their soups frozen to go, which is what I chose. The gal at the counter helping me was very kind and friendly, describing all their soups and telling me about her favorites. She even gave me a sample of the lobster bisque (yum!). I ended up ordering a larger container of the tomato bisque and a smaller lobster bisque. She did have to go get them from another area, as it seems the freezer is in a different location of the building. I was given the option to choose two portions of bread, as well for no extra charge.I thawed the tomato bisque for the next day and had it as a meal with one of the sizes of bread. It was delicious! Rich, hearty and cheesy...just as it was described. The larger size container held three large bowls of soup. I haven't tried the lobster bisque yet, but am hopeful it will also be delightful. I'll be back again soon to try yet another soup and if the weather cooperates, sit on the circle!

Good for breakfast spot on the circle. This place is growing on me. They make a great sandwich and they aren't usually very busy. It is about $10 for a breakfast sandwich so it's a bit pricey but it will fill you up.

Stopped by on a cold day while I was in the circle. The best thing this place offers is a soup flight! I'm a sucker for the possibility of trying more than one thing, so I was all for this. My flight included the chicken velvet, cheeseburger soup, and pumpkin chili. All were good, but I definitely preferred the chicken velvet over the other two. Pumpkin chili had a good flavor but was thinner than what I was expecting from a chili. The cheeseburger soup was good too, but I was definitely happy I had a smaller serving of it - it's a dense soup that can definitely put you to sleep. The chicken velvet was a new soup to me. I enjoyed the smooth texture and tang it had. I love soup season and look forward to trying more.

Love the velvet chicken pot pie soup - creamy and delicious. Any soup always comes with a piece of sourdough bread and its perfect! I get this for lunch to go as its convenience for my work. you can definitely lunch in/ dine in but the space is pretty small, however, the interior is rustic and historic. For the velvet chicken soup Last time i ordered, I added sour cream and it was too sour and thick so I wouldnt add with sour cream anymore

Visiting Indy for the first time and stopped in here for lunch today. Wonderful people, atmosphere and food!! Finn was incredibly helpful and friendly. We shared a panini and a soup trio. Not a crumb or drop went to waste! Everything was delicious! If we lived closer, we would have definitely taken some frozen soup to-go. Such a good idea! We loved our lunch here and will be back! Definitely recommend coming and giving them a try!
